Hi,
I'm looking to set up a projector in my lounge but am unsure about how to locate the projector.
I'm looking at two possible positions for the projector and screen.
Option 1: wall to wall 5.2 meters. Projector screen can be up to 2m wide and 1.7m high.
Option 2: wall to wall 4.4 meters. Projector screen can be up to 2m wide and 1.7m high.
I would like the projector to be placed against the wall on a shelf. I really don't want it hanging off the ceiling (too low) or sitting on a coffee table (kids!). With either option above, is the project too far back for the room proportions? Do I need to look for some special option such as 'zoom' or something?
I've got a budget of £2.2k which I'm trying to squeeze in a projector, electric screen, 5.1 surround speakers with dvd player/amp combo(option 1 floor standing, option 2 wall mounted). Suggestions would be really helpful.
One final question. Can the projector be at the same height as the top of the projection screen or does it need to be placed a bit lower down?
Thank you.
Al.
